Thanks Ben. I’m a poor typist, so let me use some abbreviations and such. Call the four examples above 1a, 1b, 2a, etc. The a-b differences may be useful in source criticism (though Steve Mason, for one example, doubts this for Josephus; I’ll find the reference if requested). How common are these? I...

Imo, some of the best recent scholarship on John the Baptist is by Albert I. Baumgarten, some of it available on “academia.edu”

G. Doudna assumed that Hyrcanus II was also named John, and then proceeded to propose a mix-up with John the Baptist. But, as noted on another thread: a) Tal Ilan, besides in her JQR 78 (1987-8) article, in her 2002 extensive Lexicon of Jewish Names in Late Antiquity Part I Palestine 330 BCE-200 CE ...

To be clear, I don't object to asking whether Philo wrote DVC, though I think he did. And the translation of Friedländer's article is welcome.

In his review, which was partly complimentary, Conybeare referred to his DVC book, which has, as already mentioned, among other things, a one-hundred page section on the authorship of DVC. So I would not call his opinion on authorship in any way "shallow." Good day.

billd89, you consider Conybeare's scholarship (book and/or review) on DVC "shallow" !?

Also, Conybeare reviewed M. F.’s book in Jewish Quarterly Review 7.3 (April, 1895) pages 554-563. (It’s on JSTOR.org.) For more recent discussions see various articles in Studia Philonica.
